Steve Bennett Jacksonville, Oregon

Steve Bennett has been composing pictures most of his life. He practiced Dentistry in Bend, Oregon and enjoyed photography. From this computational background, he began to study drawing, design, color, harmony and the other elements of fine art. He has been painting for nearly 30 years and considers himself fortunate to have studied with many of the finest instructors in the United States. He most frequently chooses to work in pastel because of its immediacy of expression: “The pigment is right here in my hand.” His strong designs and colors add to the excitement of each piece, as does the emotional intensity of painting on location. For Steve Bennett, art is another dimension to the joy of life.
